Perhaps someone like Hamed Wardak would have wanted to be in attendance too, given that he was one of the original eight founders of the CUSAP (Campaign for a US-Afghanistan Partnership), set up to “achieve sustainable security and prosperity in Afghanistan.”
Good news for Afghans is that the message of the exhibition is meant to show how “Americans stand by the people of Afghanistan for the long-term, and that is the message of these photographs,” according to US Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, Ambassador Marc Grossman.

They work to create a partnership between America and Afghanistan in many ways.  They promote business ties between the two.

They also believe that Pakistan will play a critical role in Afghanistan’s future and that both the United States and Afghanistan need to cooperate to negotiate with Pakistan.  They want all three countries to show a commitment to long term planning to unite Afghanistan and to strengthen its security and economic development.
